Studio → **Style → Customize → Lens Effects**. Atmosphere is weather; Decals are motifs. Checkboxes A–Z (same column-major order as Motion): **Anamorphic Streaks, Bokeh, Flare, Ghosting, Orbs, 50mm Prime, Pulse, Refract Bubbles, Sparkle, Starburst, Sweep, Veiling Glare, Vignette** Plus **Randomize Selected** and **How often**. Clips: 1080p real exports with that effect pinned; player opens on the cover frame. ### Anamorphic Streaks Horizontal blue/amber light bars across stage and card, steered off the subject. {% embed url="" %} ### Bokeh Soft bokeh circles in the optical depth of field. {% embed url="" %} ### Flare A hexagonal flare beam across the frame. {% embed url="" %} ### Ghosting A chain of chromatic aperture ghosts running from the flare through the frame. {% embed url="" %} ### Orbs Warm and cool discs drifting slowly across the plate. {% embed url="" %} ### 50mm Prime Bright central glow plus a line of soft orbs down the flare’s diagonal — card-safe, through the centre. {% embed url="" %} ### Pulse Tiny discs pulsing near the focus point. {% embed url="" %} ### Refract Bubbles Glassy spheres that magnify and bend the photo at the sides and backdrop. {% embed url="" %} ### Sparkle Soft amber dust motes drifting through the frame. {% embed url="" %} ### Starburst Diffraction spikes from a bright point in the glass. {% embed url="" %} ### Sweep A flock of soft discs sweeping across the frame. {% embed url="" %} ### Veiling Glare Soft highlight bloom veiling the plate. {% embed url="" %} ### Vignette Edges fall into shadow around the print. {% embed url="" %} A photo plays **at most one** pooled lens effect. Choice is stable from the photo’s seed. * **Randomize Selected on** (every Look’s default): equal odds per checked box; **How often** (default **70%**) = how many photos get one at all. Groups a bit more often. **Refract Bubbles** wins as a 2–3 slide take, fewer anchors, fair screen time. * **Randomize Selected off**: Vignette and optical accents (Bokeh, 50mm Prime, Ghosting, Veiling Glare, Starburst, Anamorphic Streaks) can paint on **every** photo instead of taking the slot. Checking **Refract Bubbles** puts them all back into one draw (bubbles never stack). **How often** stays on when Refract Bubbles is on. **Bokeh / Sweep / Pulse** = three styles of the same bokeh-circle effect (each a pool slot). Anything you check joins on equal odds — no cap of three. Randomize on with **no other lens boxes** checked: one stable draw per photo from the full pool. Atmosphere and film grain / fringe / scratches are never in that pool. **Studio:** right-click Timeline or Library → **Lens Effect** (under Slide Transition) to pin on that slide or the whole multi-photo group. Current effects are checked. **Refract Bubbles** is scenery: consecutive slides (or seats) with Bubbles share one field; other pins stack. Uncheck Bubbles on one slide → only that slide drops. Pins survive Look re-deals. Essential hides this menu — Studio’s quiet privilege. On a group window, vignette and light leak ride the whole open once. Atmosphere and Decals also paint on Photo Stack / Carousel / Ribbon / Filmstrip windows. Grain and scratches stop once the closing fade owns the frame. Plate, Ambience, Film, Atmosphere & Decals: [Customize](/style-and-motion/customize.md). ## Anamorphic Streaks (when checked) Horizontal blue/amber light bars across the stage (backdrop and card), steered off the subject ([center of interest](/build-your-movie/preview.md#center-of-interest)). Presets: **Subtle Cinema** (default) · **Strong Anamorphic** · **Vintage Film** · **Blue Heavy** Knobs: **Streak Length**, **Intensity**, **Color Split**, **Softness** On **Noir** / **B\&W**, streaks keep their shape as **plain light bars** (not blue/amber). ## Refract Bubbles (when checked) Glassy spheres that magnify and bend the photo, kept to the backdrop and sides so they stay off the subject. **Look** menu: **Subtle Bubbles** · **Dreamy** · **Strong Refraction** (default) · **Vintage Soap** Knobs: **Count**, **Size**, **Speed**, **Refraction**, **Rainbow**. Count, size, speed, and rainbow stay editable after a preset. On **Noir** / **B\&W**, bubbles lose the rainbow rim and read as **clear glass**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://memorystring.codebyz.com/style-and-motion/lens-effects.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
